An Actual Survey of the Coast of Kent From Dim Church to Rye Harbour, with the New Shoal to the Westward of Dungeness.
By John Stephenson a Master in the Royal Navy.
London : Printed for Robert Sayer Nº 53 Fleet Street, as the Act direct, January 1st 1787.
Engraved map, 18th century watermark. 505 x 710mm (19¾ x 28"), very large margins. A small stain, near Ness.
A sea chart of the Kent coast from Winchelsea Castle to Dimchurch, with engraved sailing directions and two coastal profiles. As the 'new' shoal west of the Ness is now named 'Stephenson's Shoal', this is probably the first printed chart to name this sand-bank. Published as marine chronometers were being introduced, visual aids like the coastal profiles and the elevations of buildings in the towns were still important for coastal navigation.
